Labour candidate Rupa Huq will need just under a four percent swing to win the West London constituency from Conservative candidate Angie Bray.

The constituency is on Labour’s list of target marginal seats and the party was ahead in a December poll by Lord Ashcroft, by 40 per cent to 34 per cent.

The constituency has also seen a recent apparent movement in support of the smaller parties.

There’ve been many last minute additions to the ballot.

Green Party policy communications manager Tom Sharman will be contesting the seat, along with Peter Florence for UKIP.

Scott Dore will run for the Workers Revolution Party, Tammy Randle for the Above and Beyond Party, Andrzej Rygielski for the Europeans Party and Jonathan Notley as an Independent.

However, the pressure on the marginal parties is growing as Labour and Conservatives increase the amount of time and money being spent on canvassing the area.

Already celebrities are being recruited to encourage support for the candidates in this increasingly important marginal – with Boris Johnson visiting for the Conservatives and comedian Eddie Izzard promoting Labour.

Conversative – Angie Bray

In 2008, Angie stood down from the London Assembly to campaign for election as the MP for Ealing Central & Acton, winning in 2010.

Angie Bray currently sits on the Commons’ Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee and is also a member of All-Party Groups on Crossrail and International Religious Freedom.

Great news that there are 37% fewer people out of work in Ealing Central & Acton than in March 2010. So important we stick with the plan.

According to his website, Peter Florence joined UKIP ‘when it had become increasingly clear to him that the EU vision of Europe was flawed with the UK losing control of its own law making and its own borders.’
